you call me a troll yet you call people cancer, when their sister is in remission.

don't you think that's a red card?

No offence is meant to Gusset's family, who I don't know and anyone trying to connect that comment, as being malicious, is themselves being malicious.

I expressly talked about activism.

Though I have severe issues with Gusset over what he has actually done, if he was offended by that comment and saw it as any connection to a family issue (even though he knows he shouldn't be on this site) He has my apologies, as it was not intended.

That will be my last comment on that matter and I ask Peffers to stop posting to me as I will stop posting to him.

Yep good fellow, time to get back to more pleasant times.

Merrrrry Christmas!

My understanding of these matters mainly comes from books like the Bell curve. It's unfortunate that we live in an era where discussion of how nature has affected humans is seen as dangerous because some of us wish to punish people who learn and talk about it.....because political ideology.

Obviously society is composed of intelligent people and less intelligent people. However access to the right cultural environment and education has a definite affect on these matters....how much so is a matter of debate even amongst the highest authorities in biological science (even though thanks to activists this is a career damaging area)

I've stated many times that no one should feel negatively about their genetics. They had no choice in them good or less good and I've never suggested that lower IQ people be made to suffer for how nature has produced them. Indeed it's this knowledge that can help the powerful actually better tailor society to more effectively help them.....as like those deemed ugly they are punished for a situation they can't help.

I disagree with you that it's right to say that IQ tests aren't a test of innate intelligence. There are several factors there that disprove that assertion. The non random correlation to higher economic success being one independent of the person's original economic status.

Sure some tests are verbal and measure different forms of intelligence and it's also true to state that intelligence is nebulous and multi faceted. However, industry strongly disagrees with you Maple on this and for example institutions like the Army have much knowledge on the effectiveness of IQ tests.

Thanks for the etiquette lessons. Maybe I'll re-register as Fother Mucker and try again.
